    Good subject Jack, When I started with terriers back in the late 70's, Border/Lakies were a type rather than a cross... Black n' tan dogs were Lakelands, black dogs were Patterdales and white's Russells..... And never the twain shall meet, seemed the order of the day. I suppose back then what some now refer to as Fells were Border/Lakies? Why cross a Border with a Lakeland??? Well, reading Plummers Fell Terrier, it'll mention 'calming the fiery Lakie disposition with the more placid Border, to produce an animal that would not be so wreckless'!! I doubt that would be the only thing a

    I had one, a first cross, out of the so called 'performance bred' stuff...... Shite, would be an understatement!!

    I'd have thought all that success last Sunday would have kept him going with the dog game..... The power of the ribbon must not be as strong in some.....!

    I've always looked upon the border as a real shame...... Shame that such a near perfect, sound physical terrier could/would be near brought to ruin by the Sheckel, I suppose it just went out of 'fashion' in the world of the 'working' terrier! Some continued to breed good 'uns, Levi was one and I rated Jeff Fenerolli's also, I have heard the breed is still safe with some.... I hope so. Park's stuff can throw Border type from time to time, these seem to produce decent stock too. Though, if any take the time to look back at that line of Fell's, some were very Borderish (Buck's Tiger & Tex)

    Would agree with you there Oldskool, though 'big strong hunting' greyhounds ain't that common. For me constitution would have to be the overriding factor, good bone and feet. I think it would also be a factor if..... you were adding to, or creating a lurcher, what type of greyhound, if greyhound at all.....? Depending on what you want, the 'right type' of sight hound, would make a difference. I've seen far to many 'un-interested' greyhounds to belive that any would be good for lurcher production and if size wasn't a factor, whippets or whippet/greyhounds IMO are a better bet.

    A documentary was done on him also, 'A lone furrow' I think it was called, dunno if thats available......?

    As i said on the coursing thread im not nightime hunting biased, the minshaw strain was the mutts nutts at the nightime game and long may the strain continue, i wish ASD would put together a book refering to his lifetime experiance and exploits with the breed, his photographic evidence is second to none and iv always enjoyed reading his Minshaw threads till people get childish and spoil them. im sure a hardback extensive Minshaw book would be a roaring success. I have to agree. I found his posts very entertaining and informative, I bet ASD could fill a book easily with all his tales...

    Sorry to hear that p***y........ remember the good times with him........ i'll bet their were many.

    Not a big fan myself Gary, though i'd be lying if I said I never but by the sound of that statement you've been reading to many Plummer books!

    Bosun, there was two Jocks...that dog of Jack Highams was named after the dog in Fitzpatrick's book, which was written about his dog in the 1880's. It was first published just a few years before that dog above was born so it was name in honour of him. It had nothing to do with Fitzpatricks dog and hence no connection to the book/film. Cheers Stabs

    Interesting post Little Butch, though it says Jack Higham was from Chorley, Lancs...... Thats Markbricks old stomping ground (wonder if he knew him?? ) Though if I remember the film right, the Stockman picks Jock from a litter in S.A.....?? As for the film, was wondering if anyone had seen both versions?? As I remember back when Sky first came out, watching a S.A. version that was mostley dubbed, it was a very realistic film with the fight scenes and hunting looking much 'stronger'. I then seen what I thought was this film advertised and bought it, it was a much 'cleaner' Holl
